      ________________________

      Philadelphia Hooper and Israel Bennetto were married in Lambeth Registration District, London, Middlesex, England, in the 4th Quarter of 1846

      The family emigrated to Upper Canada in the mid-1850s, arriving at the Port of Hamilton on Lake Ontario, and settling in the relatively new Town of Hamilton

      Children of Israel and Philadelphia were:
      * Charlotte A Bennetto, b. England, 1848
      * Susan E Bennetto, b. England, 1850
      * Thomas H Bennetto, b. England, 1853
      * Annie (Fanny) Bennetto, b. Hamilton, 1856
      * Ellen J Bennetto, b. Hamilton, 1858
      * Israel Bennetto Jr, b. Hamilton, 1860

      Widowed in her 37th year and only a few months before the birth of their 5th child, with five other children under the age of 12, Philadelphia soldiered on and raised her family single-handedly

      She died in 1882, at the age of 80 years
